So with that said, I'm also looking forward of all the events coming up! Today is my FRIDAY!! Plans for this weekend make me smile. Tomorrow I'll be going with my best friend, and cousin Bianca (who is also getting married - in Oct) to see a florist :) I'm really not big on flowers, I really just want bouquets, boutonnieres, possibly centerpieces for every other table and possibly an arrangement or two for the church. It will all depend on prices of course! After the florist we are heading back to Ventura's for an appointment with Penny for bridesmaid dresses! I am so so so so excited to hang out with my girls, and try on dresses, well.....watch them try on dresses :D So we have a general style in mind.Long, flowy, comfortable, and grey!
I know these photos are not all in grey, but its a starting place :D
Sunday of course is Easter, so that day will be spent celebrating the Resurrection of our almighty father, and spending time with our amazing families. Because of him, we are able to live this beautiful life, and I could not be anymore thankful, glory to him on HIGH.
Lastly, who doesn't like to brag on their wonderful man? My fiance works as an athletic trainer for a local Christian High School. He is beyond amazing at what he does, and his passion is second to none. For those of you who don't know what a trainer does, they are the guys you see run out onto the field when a player goes down. He never seizes to me, he is by far one of the most educated and intelligent people I know. Just the other day, one of the lacrosse players went down the field. He was unconscious immediately. Danny responded in a heartbeat and was able to get him to wake up. They carried him off the field on a golf cart and into the training room where Danny would be able to better assess him. As the kid was sitting there, Danny did his routine series of questions to gauge how bad the trauma to the head was. He very calmly informed the parents that their child had suffered a concussion and that he needed to monitor him for a little while. When he went back into the room, one of the kids eye had completed dilated while the other got smaller. I'm going to act like I know what I'm talking about, but truth is I am clueless. This sign apparently showed Danny that this was more serious than he had anticipated. He again, calmly pulled the parents aside (to not alarm them) and said, things have just turned and we need to get him to a hospital right away. Without second guessing, he was on the phone with an ambulance, and on the walkie-talkie with security to clear a path, and keep cars out of the way. Thanks to God, and his quick actions & knowledge, the kid is getting better by the day, we don't know the exact outcome as of yet, but we do know that had it not been for his quick action things could have gotten very bad & very quickly. So I wanted to share the emails he received yesterday from the Head of the School and the father of the child. This man is amazing, and more than anything, he is mine.
Email from head of the school: (Names have been removed and replaced obviously)
Danny,
I have to thank you for your attentiveness and quick action
last night related to (kids) concussion. Mrs. (kids mom) confirmed that your
decision to call the ambulance made a difference in (kids)'s recovery. I also
applaud your ability to communicate clearly to the security officers the plan to
make room for the ambulance, clear out the entry, and open the alternative
exit. Your instructions were understood and followed.
Additionally, I appreciate that you found and updated me on
the situation which allowed me to call the Family and show our school's
support. It also allowed me to inform (the board of the school) as to what was happening
which allowed a school representative to go to the hospital.
Thank you for the excellence you bring to our school. I know
the (kids)' Family will forever be grateful.
Well done!!
And.... Email from the kid's dad:
Danny,
I echo Dr.
(head of school) comments and assessment of your actions last night. Our family
truly appreciates your medical attention, sound decision making skills and
clear communication during the critical time during (kids)'s injury last night. I
am especially thankful and know how important sound medical attention is to the
safety of patients in those moments following any trauma incident, particularly
a head injury. Thanks to all at HCHS who took a keen and dedicated
interest in (kids)'s health and safety.
We equally
appreciate all the prayers from the HC community and lacrosse team/parents, I
honestly think God heard all those prayers as (kids)'s condition improved
dramatically during the ambulance ride and upon his arrival at TX Children's
Hospital.
Thanks,
(Kids dad)
Love,
Jess
